Product Summary

Stainless steel hose is a kind of a hose which is a piece of tubing that is used to move liquids or, in a few cases, gases from one location to another. Hoses are usually circular and flexible; rigid cylindrical devices are typically known as tubes or pipes. People use hoses for a great variety of purposes, from gardening to putting out fires. They are also used in industry sometimes for transporting various chemicals where they are needed.

Stainless steel hose is used to move water around and through buildings. Special hoses known as tough hoses are used in agriculture, where large quantities of water must be moved significant distances to water crops. In many cases, a hose will be reinforced with fibers or with a non-rusting metal cord. These materials can be braided into the hose or wrapped around it. There are many other methods of reinforcement as well, such as spiraling. These methods are all used to increase the pressure resistance of a hose.

To achieve a better pressure resistance Stainless steel hoses can be reinforced with fibers or steel cord. Commonly used reinforcement methods are braiding, spiraling, knitting and wrapping of fabric plies. The reinforcement increases the pressure resistance but also the stiffness. To obtain flexibility corrugations or bellows are used. Usually circumferential or helical reinforcement rings are applied to maintain these corrugated or bellowed structures under internal pressure.
